For details on available shutter speeds and aperture values, see “Shutter Speed” (=130) and “Aperture” (=130).

• After you set the shutter speed or aperture value, the exposure level

may change if you adjust the zoom or recompose the shot.

• Screen brightness may change depending on your specified shutter

speed or aperture value. However, screen brightness remains the

speed or aperture value) automatically adjusted to obtain standard

exposure, hold the shutter button halfway and press the <b>
